install zipped downloads for orbi
What can I do to download and install the zipped software updates for orbi? They download but will not unzip! This is the most useless download system I've ever worked with. Help!

Hi Furry, thanks for the feedback. I'm using chrome on a windows pc. As noted, I can download the file but I cannot unzip it. I believe you that they work, I just want to know how. I've read all the info and how to manually do this and that, but they still would not open. Why should it take me forever to get this done.
I'm comparing Netgear to my samsung phone. Updates to apps happen everyday and install without any issue. That's easy. This is not!

What Firmware is currently loaded?
Try downloading using IE11, Edge or Firefox browsers. Chrome has been known to do things it shouldn't. Something else on your PC maybe corrupting the files once they are downloaded to your PC. Try a different PC.
You can have Orbi update FW as well if you have it check for updates.
